Vanuatu
Family Planning Australia has been working in Vanuatu since 2013. Our projects work to educate communities on maintaining positive sexual and reproductive health. The programs include cervical cancer screening and treatment awareness, supporting the implementation of family planning guidelines and a disability project which focussed on reproductive sexual health and rights, including education and improved access for those living with disability.
